We do not have specific guidelines for the design work in the district. However, the City of La Porte is part of the San Jacinto Historic District, and we do encourage businesses in the district to consider the design standards that the many cities and entities who make up the Corridor have adopted as part of a community identification effort. You can find a copy of the standards below, and we're happy to provide a hard-copy as well if you need it.
